Safety Programs for Working at Heights (SPWHs)
Nuestro objetivo es establecer procedimientos seguros de operación para el trabajo en alturas, entendido como las actividades de trabajo rutinarias y no rutinarias que impliquen una potencial caída igual o mayor a 1.5 metros, y garantizar la seguridad del personal que lleve a cabo esta actividad de alto riesgo. Mediante la identificación, análisis y prevención de los riesgos relacionados con caídas de diferentes niveles y dando cumplimiento a la normatividad vigente aplicable, desarrollamos programas de trabajo seguro en alturas (PTSA) que cumplan con los requerimientos particulares de nuestros clientes.
Based on an individualized analysis we define the safe work procedures, profiles and restrictions for workers who perform any height activity, as well as any necessary prevention measures, such as delimitations and signaling, access controls, safe work procedures (SWPs), and specific functions and responsibilities for supervisors of work at heights, etc. We also establish the required personal protective equipment (PPE) to be used, such as fall restraint systems, which include anchor points, lifelines, safety hooks, safety lanyards, connectors, slings and harnesses, among others. When using Personal Fall Arrest Systems (PFAs) we make sure our clients choose the proper equipment. All full-body harnesses must meet American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standards or their equivalent. Additionally, in order to prevent falls at elevation we undertake measures in order for our clients to adequately use guardrail systems, scaffolds, aerial lifts, fall restraints, and hole and floor covers.
Upon request of our clients we also give training to workers focused on safe working practices at heights and the correct use of relevant equipment to perform work in safe conditions. We are fully committed to the effective implementation of safe conditions for working at heights, ensuring that work is performed under strict control measures.
